“Narcisse” (2024)

Original Polaroids
8,8 x 10,7 cm

It all begins with a mirror. In this first image, the figure seems contained within its own reflection. As the Polaroids unfold, stability shifts: the face blurs, alters, and reconfigures through subtle variations.

The very material of the Polaroid, raw, at times burned, almost radioactivee, participates in this process, evolving over time, subtly modifying its tones and densities, the medium becomes an active agent of metamorphosis. The image is never entirely fixed; it remains in transition.

Each photograph thus records an ongoing transformation, a presence that slips away or reformulates itself. The series proposes a reading of the myth centered not on the confirmation of the reflection, but on the dynamics of the image: a drift, an instability, a becoming.

The Metamorphosis of Narcissus (2024) explores the space where visual identity is constructed, undone, and recomposed, carried by the inherent temporality of the Polaroid.
